From New.Myspace.com (as of 09/25/12):
We’re hard at work building the new Myspace, entirely from scratch. But we’re staying true to our roots in one important way—empowering people to express themselves however they want. So whether you’re a musician, photographer, filmmaker, designer or just a dedicated fan, we’d love for you to be a part of our brand new community.

Everyone fears being hacked online. Just having your social media account phished can be catastrophic, especially since we share so much of our lives on the Internet. Just think of the information that someone could get: pictures of your home, your mobile number, possibly even your mother’s maiden name.
I am sure the implications don’t escape your notice.
The trick is to take precautions to help protect your account from being hacked or protect what can be utilized if it ever is and has to be recovered. This is much more simple than it sounds, fortunately.

On September 2012, Jack Dorsey delivered a great keynote at Disrupt SF.
The Co-Founder of Twitter and Square is a great speaker and we can take pointers from his delivery style.
Here is another great presentation from Jack.
Back in May 2008, the then Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey provided a compelling overview of the service and his own inspiration.

Back in 2007, Tiger Woods was still the undisputed king of golf. MySpace ruled the social media roost, fending off a feisty underdog called Facebook that threatened to steal a share of its influence.
Things change quickly. Within half a decade, most social networkers have fully abandoned MySpace. And although Facebook looked like the impenetrable Tiger Woods of social media just a year ago, the chinks in its armor are beginning to show.

Via Mashable:
The coolest part is after the ad ends. A recordable player pops up and users can create their own sounds by pressing different keys on the keyboard. The keys control various sounds from Terry and different beats. Trust us, you’ll get sucked into this one, quickly. Users can record their creations, upload them to Vimeo and then share them across the web.
Facebook bought the photography service Instagram for about $1 billion. Instagram allows its users to post photos online to several social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. It is one of the fastest growing websites on the Internet.
Instagram is valuable due to its large user base, its intuitive design and its untapped marketing potential. The service started as a smartphone app that allowed users to upload pictures, apply filters to them and share them with their friends. While Instagram was only available on the iPhone and iPad for some time, the service recently released an app for Google Android smart phones.
Founded by Ben Silbermann, Pinterest burst onto the scene from nowhere in 2010 and has grown from fewer than 50,000 users to more than seven million, making it the third largest social network. If you’re already active on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter and other social networking platforms, you may wonder if it’s worthwhile or even possible to add one more social network to your to-do list. If you’re not savvy about social media, you may consider Pinterest to be a hyped up fad that will fade. Actually, Pinterest can provide a powerful marketing boost to your business, whether or not you actually sell products or services.

Social media is the driving force behind much of the World Wide Web. Individuals use it to connect and share globally, and businesses have realized its immense potential for extending brand reach. A recent Pew Internet report found that two-thirds of adult Internet users are using a social networking site; other studies have noted the growing use of social media for marketing purposes.
So, given the growing importance of social media, it makes sense that companies are now measuring the relative importance, or influence, of the people using the networks.
Klout and PeerIndex, the two major players in measuring social influence, have only been around for a few years but have already made a mark on digital engagement.
